dirty motel, dirty bad rooms ,bad management !!!!! we choose a hotel 500 meters away Red Roof Inn

This motel was located in a great location relative to where we needed to be for the weekend. The desk clerk was extremely friendly while checking in. What we found in the room: No TV remote. No tissues in tissue box. The toilet kept running. The shower curtain was scummy. The tub was dirty and there was mildew on the walls and in caulking. Their was mildew on the rubber tub mat. While taking a shower the water adjusted itself from O.K. to extremely hot to extremely cold and back and forth, etc.. The carpet was not vacuumed recently. The furniture was not cleaned thoroughly. Because this was the Daytona 500 weekend it would of been near impossible to find another room in the area we needed to be. On a good note the sheets on the bed did look clean and it was quiet.
When checking out we told the morning desk clerk and gave her a written list of things we found in the room. We were not told "sorry" just that she would notify housekeeping as to what was found.

We were driving a long day to make up for time lost due to vehicle repairs in Kentucky. Didn’t want to drive any further so called an 800 # to locate a pet friendly hotel. This Quality Inn came up, also had restaurant & lounge listed so went with it because we would not have to go out again to eat. Also requested ground floor, non-smoking. Got there seemed ok but agree with other reviewers that the outside is dimly lit. At check-in told us no 1st floor available non-smoking yet not many cars there. After some run around, (my husband did not want to look for another place), he asked if they had a suite on 1st floor available – yes they did (why didn’t they offer that ?) anyway, it did cost more but….We go to our room (enter rms. from outside) & can see 2 empty non-smoking rms. in same set of rooms that we are in (because the curtains were partially open) hummm, what’s this all about – but like I said we were tired. It was not a suite either, just a regular rm. w/king bed & loveseat that was not a sofa bed. The room was dirty like it had not been dusted/cleaned in several weeks. Toilet had a slight mold ring at the water line. Was icky but not the worst we’d seen over the years. I clean all rms. we stay in with anti-bacterial wipes anyway, just took a more wipes for this rm. Didn’t use drawers or anything. Needed more towels and desk clerk was snooty about giving us more. And to top it off the restaurant & lounge are no longer in use, just do breakfast buffet in mornings & that costs $3.99. No free breakfast here. So had to do ‘Delivery’ for dinner. No refrig. or microwave. Did not even want to check out their breakfast – we went to McDonalds. Also, did not sleep well so checked out early in the morning no lights were on outside – office/lobby area looked like it was closed up!! We were glad to leave. By the way – the non-smoking rms. we saw empty, were still empty when we left.

This place is disgusting! We arrived around 7 p.m. The parking lot and courtyard were very dimly lit, the room smelled awful, there were spiders and spider webs behind the bed (and all over the room) and the air conditioner wouldn't stay on. We demanded our money back about an hour after arrival and stayed the the Hampton Inn Ocala.
